How to add, insert or paste an Excel table to Outlook email?
When we work in an Excel spreadsheet we normally use tables, the information collected in the Excel tables comprises calculations that are easily executed. If we want to share this information we can do it in several ways.
One way to share table information is by adding it to an Outlook email message, and it happens to be the easiest way to share it. However, when we don’t know how to apply the process of adding or inserting a table, things get complicated.
What we are going to do to paste an Excel table in Outlook is simple, the first thing will be to enter our Excel spreadsheet; with our left click pressed we will all select the boxes that correspond to the table.
Then we will right click on this selection, and choose the copy option; at this point you should go to the email and open a new message to compose.
The following consists of right-clicking on the Outlook message, previously putting the recipient’s email address and a subject, and then clicking paste. The table will be automatically pasted and you can hit send so that the other user receives it as a message.
What other ways are there to share an Excel file in Outlook?
The way we explained above belongs to the easiest mechanism to share information in Outlook, but there are other ways to send an Excel document or table through this platform without pasting an Excel table into Outlook.
Remembering that Outlook has links to different types of Microsoft Office Software, we can say that the process of sharing an Excel file by Outlook is quite simple.
One of these ways is to send the Excel document or table as an attachment in Outlook, and this only requires that the file be previously saved on the sending device. There is also the option to send as a PDF, where it is sent as a file that cannot be modified from Outlook, or other means of email.
And on the other hand there is the option to send as XPS by email, a way that preserves the design, format and images when sent. There may be other ways to send an Excel document by Outlook, but these are the default ones set by Microsoft Office.
What do I do if I can’t insert an Excel table by Outlook email?
You may have tried to paste an Excel table into Outlook to send it as an ordinary message, and it didn’t work for you; and perhaps later you tried to send it by the other means that we mention here, and that did not help much either.
The process to insert or add an Excel table in an Outlook message does not work sometimes, because the information contained in it may not be able to be ‘digested’ by the format of the message. This also happens with some images when inserting them as part of the body of an email in Outlook.
However, this does not mean that you cannot do it. Another option for pasting an Excel table into Outlook can be done using links between Microsoft Office programs.
You can try to link the Excel table with Word, or also do it with another medium such as Power Point. One of these, or even both, may be of some use to you.
The latter is done in order to copy the table in question within these formats, and paste them into an Outlook email message.
